Save Warren Farm

Warren FarmEaling Civic Society is supporting the Save Warren Farm Campaign with a £1,000 donation. Warren Farm is 61 acres of Metropolitan Open Land, designated as Community Open Space within the Brent River Park, which has been used as playing fields for over 50 years. The Council intends to lease the land to a private company (for 200 years at a peppercorn rent) in order for them to build their Training and Academy HQ; including three significant buildings equivalent to 4-7 storeys high, increasing the footprint of the existing community changing rooms by over 600%. Planning permission has already been approved. We do not believe that the case has been made for ‘very special circumstances’ to allow development of Metropolitan Open Land in line with the National Planning Policy Framework, and so are supporting the Judicial Review process. See the Save Warren Farm website for more information.
